"The school administration had NOTHING to do with this," Ferguson said in the post Tuesday. "This event will not be a GUN CONTROL protest organized by the school. In fact, any students involved in the event have been asked to focus on school safety, including increased mental health counselors and increased funding and training for SRO officers, not gun control."
